About the Intelligent-Traffic-Simulator PCB
Intelligent-Traffic-Simulator is an open source ESP32 PCB design by LimesKey, published on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 165.5 × 100.5 mm, with 148 components from 59 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the ESP32-WROOM-32UE, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the PCA9685PW, CH340K, TLV76133DCY, INA226 and MAX40200AUK. By type, the board carries 51 resistors, 36 capacitors, 21 test points, 10 ICs, 8 connectors and 8 diodes.
From the project
Detect how hot wheels cars navigate streets and interact with stop lights and how this can be applied to the real world.
Detect how hot wheels cars navigate streets and interact with stop lights and how this can be applied to the real world. Just a thing I made for class
It detects hot wheels cars via the three coils embedded in the PCB traces. The coils are hooked up to a 555 timer at around 200 KHz and when the hot wheels car is over the coil, the frequency changes which is detected by the ESP32 running a pulse counter script. Essentially a metal/object detector specifically calibrated for hot wheels cars.
